I have no problem with TIE Bombers releasing bombs or clusters of thermal detonators over ground targets, but in space I'd prefer for them to have rockets.

Quick, everybody come look!  Look what I found! ^^^

haha...we're currently discussing the use of bombs versus torpedoes in this instance.  In the ESB you see TBs dropping bombs, but in most of the games they have torpedoes.  However, the bombs do add a different gameplay element by forcing the bombers to come a lot closer to the fleet in order to attack so...we'll see what happens with this.  My guess: bombs will stay in for this map.

You are talking about the moment when they were searching for the Falcon in that big asteroid right? And then the TIE Bombers dropped bombs on the holes in an attempt to destroy the hidden Falcon.

Re: May 24th Update

I just wanna say: you guys are still awesome. I agree with all of your concepts and ideas, the trailer looks awesome, seems like you're making the Star Wars game I always wanted to play.

Freakin sweet work, and I CANNOT WAIT for the release now -- though I am willing to wait because all that waiting means is more awesomeness.

Withering Fire, Subconscious Teamwork, and your class system are some of the best ideas I've heard and I'm looking forward to helping my team without putting effort into it.

Yeah, but then my argument is that since corvettes and asteroids are two different targets, the Empire could perfectly well use bombs on an asteroid and still realize that going close to a corvette to drop bombs is a bad idea when you can just hit it with, say, proton torpedoes from afar.

Awesome video... loved the tie fighters in the beginning.

would it be possible to get a trailor of the cool asteroids and maybe a tie fighter smashing into one?

That would rock!

Yeah very good point, I was think about that earlier. Makes more sense to use bombs on an asteroid while using torpedoes on an enemy corvette.
